The article Battle of Aleppo (2012–present) is under a 1RR restriction, the sock IP first removed some content claiming it was propaganda, I reverted this blanking and was then reverted by Thepigthatisawsome. I know this is socking cos of these two edits. IP says, sorce Thepigthatisawsome says, sorces Obvious bit of quacking there Darkness Shines (talk) 22:14, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

He also did the exact same thing at Battle of Qalamoun IP removes content and is reverted, then Thepigthatisawsome reverts back to the IP Darkness Shines (talk) 22:54, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Both 172 IPs are Thepigthatisawsome, he said here he logged in and not to report him for socking, the edits are from a mobile device. However this article is under a 1RR restriction, he reverted twice with the 172 IP`s, then logged in and reverted again. The actual socking is with the 24 IP, it is the same ISP as the previous IP used by this editor for sockpuppetry, and it is hardly plausible that a new IP from the same ISP would turn up to make the same revert. This is an obvious duck case from a guy with previous. Darkness Shines (talk) 20:34, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

IP 24 may be in the clear, as this revert has just been done with the same IP as used previously by Thepigthatisawsome. This is almost certainly sockpuppetry, and piss poor socking at that. Darkness Shines (talk) 22:20, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

IP 67 is definitely the pig, same typo as before. Darkness Shines (talk) 00:07, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Added Alhanuty as the 24 IP says he is Alhanuty. So both users have the same ISP edit the same articles and both edit while logged out. Darkness Shines (talk) 00:24, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I'm sure the IP 24.0.210.152 (talk) is under Alhanuty's control. Closely check the contributions, especially this diff, but most importantly, this one. Also, this IP acted disruptively once by blanking June 2013 Egyptian protests and later used the same explanation "unneutral" to move the article without consensus as Alhanuty. But that's the first time i've heard of Thepigthatisawesome. Interesting. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 17:13, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Thepigthatisawsome blocked for 2 weeks as well as the IPs. There isn't enough for me to say for sure whether Alhanuty is the sockmaster here, but that diff of the IP and the IPs support of Thepigthatisawsome should be enough to justify a CU. Though given the age of the diff I'd like another clerk's opinion (hence why I'm not endorsing this). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Callanecc (talk • contribs) 08:25, 30 March 2014‎
 * and are ❌.   with respect to the IPs, except to say that several are on a very dynamic range.  Risker (talk) 05:18, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * The only violations I see here are the 1RR violations, which have already been answered with blocks. With the revelation that Alhanuty and Thepigthatisawsome are technically unrelated, there doesn't seem to be any additional actions needed, so I'm going to mark this for closure. --  At am a  頭 15:53, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
